Bear meat has been a topic Of Custer
conversation during the week. AS men
do not agree upon anything, il is by no
means strange that they should disagree
upon the merits Of bear meat. While
some Of our more fastidious residents
aver that the flesh of bruin is too loud
for the larder, and absolutely unfit for
table use, we are disposed to regard it,
when in proper condition, one of the
chief luxuries which serves to make up
the combination Of inducements for
hungry mortals to tarry yet awhile or
earth, and our thanks are especially due
to Mr.. Fisher Of this city for two choice
cuts left at this office on Monday, being
a part of a bear killed by Mr.. Towner Of
Willow creek and three other men,
three day previous. The bear belonged
to a species called Silver Tip, and
weighed, gross, nearly 500 pounds. The
meat met with a ready sale to Custer
epicures at fair figures, which goes far
toward settling the question as to the
surprising merits of bar meat. This is
the only bear known TO have escaped
humiliation at the hands Of Col. King,
of Rapid, during his annual bear round
| up in this county last fall.
The sale Of the Tin Reef mine which
was c%onsumated last fall has already
resulted in attracting many persons
! from the east to this place. Centre
Point, Iowa, the former residence Of
the discoveries, and former principal
owners Of the mine, has alone contri-
buted, including men, women and chill
dren, about forty persons to swell our
population. The season is not sufici-
emily advanced to warrant active immi-
grafton, but when the rough edge of
spring has worn away, and summer,
mild and balmy, makes its advent
when to the number Of tin bonanzas
already sold, a score or more are added,
and all are undergoing development,
giving employment to hundreds of men,
then may we reasonably expect the tide
Of immigration to reach its acme. Then
may we expect ali influx of anxious
fasteners of greater magnitude than
Custer has ever yet experienced. The
outlook for Custer, Notwithstanding her
present quietitude, has never looked as
favorable for coming progress as it does
at this j%uncture.

WORKING UP A BOOM.
The Delightful Programme Arranged
Names Plumed Knight.

| me DenEhtfui Programme Arranged by
Names Plumed Knight.
1t seems that all Mr.. James G..
Blaine's health needs is a voyage
across the Atlantic. 1t is expected
that the salt ocean breezes will tone up
his system to endure the political
squalls OF the next eighteen months
and that the boom he will get by cable
will be more efficacious with politicians
and voters than any manipulation pos
sible from Bar Harbor. To this end it
Is given out that Mr.. Blaine and his
factotum, Joe Manley, eX-postmaster
of Augusta, Me-. will sail for England.
The only health seeking part of the
trip will be that on shipboard. When
the party lands at Liverpool the man.
ayers of the circus will have arranged
spontaneous Outpouring of the peo-
pie to welcome the only genuine
plumed knight of American clubbing
who ever sought those monarchist
shores. His journey from Liverpool
to London will be q voluntary ovation
| all along the line.
In the metropolis Mr.. Blaine will be
invited to eat at Democratic dinners
and to speak at home-rule meetings.
OF course the matter of his public ut
terances will be made as offensive to
English ears as possible in order to
arouse the bitterest criticism, which will
be promptly cabled to the New York
Tribune to show the brutal manner in
which bloody Britons'' handle IA
vorite son of Maine. When the indig-
nation of the English public has been
sufficiently aroused AMI this country
has been narrowed with the reports of
frequent attempts to mob Mr.. Blaine
he will shake the dust of London from
his feet and cross the channel to Ire
land.
Before doing so, however. Mr.. Blaine
will meet Gladstone, and, having fall
en- on his neck, the grand old man
will be chained to the plumed kni sht's
chariot wheel for triumphal tour of
the Green Isle. No effort will be
spared to induce Mr.. Parnell to ac-
company Mr. Blaine on his tour.
Should this combination be effected it
is expected that the aggregation will
produce rothing short of CONFUSION
in Ireland, the mere vibration of which
will awaken the widest enthusiasm
for Mr.. Blaine among Irish-Ameri-
cans.
This is very delightful programme,
to be sure. And there can be no doubt
that it will land Mr.. Blaine in the
White House if all the Irish voters in
America turn Republicans and all who
are Republicans now vote for Mr..
Blaine. But there is an ominous shadow
of doubt in that IF Chicago News.

BRIEF MENTION.

The President will bring the
railroad land grabbers up with sharp
turn. and soon he will be i'm position
to give every honest man farm.
Y. Journal.
The evil effect of the Hayes fraud
of 1876 will not be entirely removed
for some time. 1t is no doubt that
which gives Foraker assurance enough
to aspire for the Presidency.-Harris-
burg Patriot. 80 -5--1 ...l
1t goes without saying. that the
Republican party is doomed to over
whelming defeat il Mr.. Blaine is again
nominated; even his most enthusiastic
friends are now beginning to admit
this.-M T. Independent. =
The Pension Office costs less than
under Republican control, and issues
half as many again certificates an
nualiy. Nearly double the former work
is now done. and it is done more
promptly.-St Louis Republican.
1t has taken John Sherman a
long time to get his war record in
shape for use. but it is now fixed for
the campaign of 1888. He has letters
and other documents going to show
that he was determined to lead an Ohio
regiment to the front, and was dis
uaded only by the most pathetic ap-
peals OF Abraham Lincoln himself, who
insisted on his remaining at home and
running for Congress. This is a very
fair excuse. President Lincoln has
been charged before this with not wish
ing to have the rebellion put down too
precipitately.-C CHICAGO Herald

AN OLD-TIME TRICK.
Republican Party Lies Which Have n
Foundation Whatever.

Republican Party Lies Which Have Nc
Foundation Whatever.
The desperate attempts being made
by certain Republican journals of the
country to show that there is a strong
antagonism growing up between Pres
ident Cleveland and Governor Hill as
opposing candidates for the Presiden-
cy are growing to be extremely anus
ing.
1t seems to be taken for granted by
these wiseacres that both of these
gentlemen are couple of school-boys,
one with threatening attitude and the
other with chip on his shoulder stand
ing off ready for a fight, and it never
seems to strike them that the course
which up to the present time has been
pursued both by the President and
Governor Hill is a sensible and digni-
fled one, worthy of the high positions
which they both fill.
1t is an old-time partisan trick to
magnify the petty quarrels of obscure
politicians in the opposite party into a
widespread factional fight and to
charge the same upon conspicuous
leaders, and where the fury of the par
Elephants in the petty fight does not
lend arms for strife they are ready to
be supplied by mendacious representa-
tives of the opposition, so it is not
strange to see that which is in reality
a composing of party differences in the
Democratic politics of New York con-
tortcd into an evidence of wide
spread party revolt.
Let these Republican prognostica-
tors possess their souls in patience.
there isn't the slightest danger that
either President Cleveland or Cover
nor Hill will be guilty of any political
foolishness which will give the Repub-
licans even fighting chance to carry
New York in the Presidential contest
of 1SS8.-Horrisburg (Pa.) Patriot.
